Cornerstone Lending Group

Bridge loans

Speed and flexibility when the timeline matters.

Short-term capital for properties in transition — and for investors who need to close before permanent financing is available.

Bridge financing for value-add business plans

Bridge loans fund the gap between where a property is and where the business plan takes it: a building in lease-up, a renovation underway, or an acquisition that has to close faster than a conventional loan allows.

We evaluate bridge financing alongside the proposed refinance or sale strategy. Closing timing depends on the capital source, property, documentation and underwriting; future refinancing or sale is not guaranteed.

What we arrange

Value-add acquisitions

Purchase capital for properties with upside from renovation or management.

Renovation funding

Structures that can include capital for planned improvements.

Lease-up & stabilization

Time to reach stabilized occupancy before permanent debt.

Time-sensitive closings

Financing requests structured around time-sensitive escrows and 1031 exchange deadlines, subject to underwriting and closing requirements.

Private lending

Private capital options for eligible transitional properties and transaction timelines, subject to capital-source requirements.

Exit planning

Evaluation of potential permanent financing or sale strategies as the property stabilizes, subject to future market conditions and approval.

Common questions

How fast can a bridge loan close?
Timing depends on the capital source, property condition, documentation, third-party reports and underwriting. Our team will discuss the proposed timeline after reviewing the request.
What happens at maturity?
Bridge financing generally requires repayment at maturity. A proposed exit may involve refinancing or selling the property. Neither is guaranteed, and any refinance requires a separate review and approval.
